  • There is some variance in sources as to the name of Margaret Cocks's first husband.
    According to Cokayne's Complete Peerage (1st ed, vol 4, p. 165 (1892), and 2nd ed vol 6 p.306 (1926), under "Hardwicke") his name was John Lygon. So also the Dictionary of National Biography (1900) vol 63 p. 350, Encyclopedia Britannica (1911) sv Hardwicke, and The History of Parliament (1970) sv YORKE, Philip (1690–1764).
    However, according to the Visitation of Worcestershire of 1682–83 (1883), under "Lygon of Madresfield", p. 70, he was William Lygon. This is also the name given in John Bennett Boddie (1936), "Lygon of Madresfield, Worcester, England and Henrico, Virginia", The William and Mary Quarterly, 16, 289–315 at p. 296; in William D. Ligon Jr, The Ligon Family and Connections (1947), pp. 62 and 293, based on extensive primary sources; and in Jane Mulvagh (2011), Madresfield p. 153. The names from the Visitation correspond to the names found for baptisms in the parish register for Madresfield: see eg FamilySearch GWBV-JJX for Lygon's father, with its linked sources.
    The 2004 edition of the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography sv Yorke, Philip, first earl of Hardwicke avoided the question, referring to Margaret as "a widow, Margaret Lygon", without naming her first husband.
